I wonder what you do everyday
I make believe that I have special powers
I cast projections out of nowhere behind glazed eyes
One shadow puppet that would dance at my will
But I let the strings loose and abandon role of director
I've been in this one man audience ever since
And it's enough for me.

I stare at the puppet as it remains still
So hypnotized illusions transform what I see
Sleeping silently and motionless, it's you now on the stage
I pause the show in fear of intermission
In a trance while watching you sleep
Dissatisfied ghosts urge the show to go on
But it's enough for me.

Uninvited imaginations tell me it's a waste of my powers
But I pay no attention nor move focus
I study your body and daydreams run free
Immersing myself in my dream's illusion
For fear of waking you from your sleep I use powers once in apparition
Slipping my hand into yours and laying beside you
Every night it is enough for me
To sleep alone and dream beside you.
